Alice knows everything that's true, in ABLP logic

concerning:

[[(See Lampson et al's authorization calculus for an explanation of
"speaks for".) The client may therefore conclude that Alice says Alice
lives next door to Bill. But Alice wouldn't say this, since Alice does
not know this to be true.
]]

One of the axioms in ABLP logic is:

  s \implies { A says s }.

So if it's true that Alice lives next door to bill, then
Alice ABLP:says it. Perhaps I'm confusing an informal
notion of truth with "logically necessary" or "provable"
or something, but I don't think so.
